Interest in nickel sulfide inclusions in glass dates to the 1960s. In recent years theoretical studies onthe phase changes in nickel sulfide from a combination of thermal analyses, x-ray powder diffraction and Raman ...

Gold nanoparticles can be conjugated with antibodies or other proteins, and the resulting composite particles will selectively attach to various kinds of biological material. Although exploitation of this for staining ...

This paper is to study the thermal stability of nanocrystalline ternary nitride coatings at elevated temperatures. Nanocrystalline titanium aluminium nitride coatings were produced by reactive magnetron co-sputtering on ...

Overall, the benefits of advanced ceramic materials in biomedical applications have been universally appreciated, specifically, in terms of their strength, biocompatibility and wear resistance. However, the amount of ...

The optical properties of in situ deposited gold nanoparticle coatings are investigated for potential application in architectural glass. It is found that the optical properties of the coating can be controlled by the pH ...

The manufacturing and measurement of twisted nematic liquid crystal cell was analyzed. The relationship between molecular order and optical and dielectric properties of the liquid crystalline state was demonstrated. The ...

Using a combination of first principles calculations and empirical potentials we have undertaken a systematic study of the low energy structures of gold nanoclusters containing from 3 to 38 atoms. A Lennard-Jones and ...

The use of mesoporous gold as electrode material for measurement of electrochemical capacitance is investigated. The electrodes possess a pore size in the range of 10-30 nm and are prepared by de-alloying films of AuAlx, ...

Mesoporous gold sponge may be prepared by the removal of aluminium from AuAl2 by an alkaline leach. The resulting material has nanoscale pores and channels, with a high specific surface area that can be exploited in ...

Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors play an important part in many integrated electronic circuits in the areas of analog, microwave, and radio frequency systems. However the transverse dimensions of current MIM capacitors ...

Gold nanoparticles have strong and tunable absorption peaks in their optical extinction spectra, a phenomenon that has recently been exploited to generate localized heating in the vicinity of these particles. However the ...

The effect of seasonal variations on ultrafiltration (UF) following pretreatment
was investigated in terms of organic removal, removal of fraction, and
molecular weight (MW) distribution. The MW range of effluent organic ...
